Light is not a wave because it does not need a medium

Reil [10]4 years ago

It's a tough question as to whether light is a wave or a particle..

The statement is FALSE. Not all types of waves need a medium to propagate. Light can travel without a medium. 

Extra Information:
Light is a longitudinal wave, sound is transverse.
Longitudinal waves do not need a medium.
Transverse waves need a medium.
This is why, for example, in the vacuum of space, light travels from stars, but sound does not.

Two loudspeakers are placed next to each other and driven by the same source at 500 Hz. A listener is positioned in front of the
stellarik [79]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wavelength as the rate of change of the speed of the wave over the frequency. Mathematically this is

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Here,

v = Wave velocity

f = Frequency,

Replacing with our values we have that,

\lambda = \frac{340}{500}

\lambda = 0.68m

The distance to move one speaker is half this

\lambda/2 = 0.34m

Therefore the minimum distance will be 0.34m

Does the under water pressure depend on the molecules of the air or what does it depend on
miskamm [114]

Answer:the pressure depends on gas and it will be half as much underwater

Explanation:

Water pressure increases with the depth of the water. This is because the weight of the column of water above the object increases. But a large, shallow pond may have more water in it than a small, deep pond.

This is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure, the force per unit area exerted by a liquid on an object. The deeper you go under the sea, the greater the pressure of the water pushing down on you. For every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by one atmosphere .

Can a particle with constant speed be accelarating?<br>what if it has constant velocity?​
Olin [163]

Explanation:

it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing.

When an object is moving with constant velocity, it does not change direction nor speed and therefore is represented as a straight line when graphed as distance over time.

Question 8: Cosmology (8 points)
STatiana [176]

Big bang happened about 13.7 billion years ago in our universe.

<h3>Describe the beginning of the universe according to the big bang theory?</h3>

According to the big bang theory, about 13.7 billion years ago, an explosive expansion began, expanding our universe outwards faster than the speed of light.

<h3>Describe the future of the universe according to the flat model?</h3>

According to the flat model, the universe is infinite and will continue to expand forever because the universe is expanding.

<h3>What is cosmic background radiation? </h3>

Cosmic background radiation is a weak radio-frequency radiation that is traveling through outer space in every direction. It is the residual radiation of the big bang, when the universe was very hot.

<h3>How do observations of the cosmic background radiation provide evidence to support the big bang theory? </h3>

The Big Bang theory predicts that the early universe was a very hot place and that as it expands, the gas within it cools. Thus the universe has all over radiation which is called the “cosmic microwave background".
